I still have an S9 with notification LED and expandable storage. I recently upgraded the SD card to 512gb.
I live in fear of this phone dying, and me having to get something disappointing to replace it.
performs secret S9 handshake
Mine’s in a drawer with the battery removed. If I need a backup phone it’s always there. I upgraded about a year and a half ago to the S20FE as it was the most recent with expandable memory. I don’t hate it, but it’s certainly no where near as good for it’s time as the S9 was. My major gripe? The ringtone is so quiet that I often can’t hear it from my pocket in a silent room. Which is absolutely ridiculous as the speaker’s decently loud. The only way to make notification volume louder is to put a custom ROM on it. I’m perfectly happy to do that, just need to hold off until November when warranty ends, just in case something happens that isn’t my fault.
Edit: goddamn I miss the notification LED…
